Approaches that guide online work
Rodrigo draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person in front of him. This approach emphasizes the client's perspective, listening, and helping people identify what matters most in their lives. It is often useful for issues like self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship concerns.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT provides practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Motivational interviewing is used to support change when someone feels stuck, especially around substance use or other health behaviors.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rodrigo collaborates with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time as goals shift and progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits can help therapy become a regular part of everyday life without changing the quality of the therapeutic process.
